Soccer

Audrey Audrey throw inWe had a good game on Saturday. I have known at least one person on each team we played. They have been my friends or people from my team another year. It is fun to play with them again.

This team we played was good. Their coaches said we did a really good job. We won 7-3, but we worked hard for it.

Tulips

Purple TulipI have been experimenting with taking pictures of flowers. I have had fun taking pictures of the tulips. The pink and the purple ones are from our neighbors and the yellow is from Oma and Opa’s house.

After I take the pictures, I am having fun learning how to edit them. The purple one we tried to make it look like an oil painting. The yellow one we just sharpened it. The pink one we adjusted the color just a little bit.

I  like the pink one best because  it is  big and bright.

Primrose

Impressonist PrimroseI was taking pictures of Primroses. Momma was playing with one of her pictures and she found a way to make look like an Impressionists painting. I really liked the idea, so Momma showed me how to make it look like an Impressionist picture. I played with it for a little bit.  I really like how it turned out.

First Soccer Game

AudreyAudrey soccerWe had fun on our first soccer game. My team is called the Lady Rattlers. Daddy and Momma are my coaches. We won 11-1.

I don’t think all the girls played soccer before on the other team.  My team all played soccer before, that’s why I think we did so well. When  we play them again, I think they will do better.

My games are on Saturdays at 10:00.  I will try to post how I do for most games 🙂

Skunk Cabbage

skunk cabbageYesterday we went to the park. We took a walk and Momma took a picture of the Skunk Cabbage. Later, I took a picture of the Skunk Cabbage. Momma said I did a really good job.

Skunk Cabbage stinks and when people used to have stuffy noses, they would break off a piece and smell it. It was supposed to help your stuffy nose go away.  It is one of the first spring flowers to come up.

Baptized

Audrey I asked Jesus in my heart 5 Jan 2010.  Andrea told me that she had asked Jesus into her heart.  I did it all by myself after talking to her and then wrote a note and put it in my Bible. I told Mommy and Daddy later and they asked me some questions about what I did.

On my “birthday” I showed Momma the note. I had been reading my Bible and I reached the spot where Jesus was baptized. It said how all believers should be baptized to show others you believe in God.

Audrey2I wrote Mommy a note asking if she would talk to me about it. She wrote me a note back and said she would love to. She talked to me about what it meant, then told me to talk to Daddy to make sure that I understood. On Wednesday I talked to Pastor about wanting to be baptized. He talked to me about it.

Later I told Andrea about being baptized.  I read her Mark 1:9-14 and she wanted to be baptized too.

On Easter Sunday, we were baptized!

Pastor asked me 4 questions;

“Do you believe that our Lord Jesus Christ has brought you to faith in Him?”Audrey3

“Do you believe that He died on the cross as complete payment for your sin, was buried and rose from the dead to declare you righteous before God?”

“Do you believe that you have been saved by the grace of God alone through faith alone in Jesus Christ alone?”

“Do you, this day, pledge to walk with Him in a new life in the Spirit?”

I was supposed to answer “yes”, but I said “hm hm” instead.

I asked some friends to come. They came to see me baptized :)  I got to see some of my friends that I haven’t seen since before Christmas!
